'''Fish Upon a Star''' is a 4-player mini-game found in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the mini-game's name is derived from the saying "Wish upon a star".
'''Fish Upon a Star''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.


The minigame starts with the four players standing on a  circular, floating platform. Suddenly, five giant cheep cheeps arc through the air and punch holes in the edges of the platform, forming a star shape.
==Overview==
The opening shows five [[Cheep Cheep]]s landing on the edges of a [[platform]], forming it into a star shape.


The goal of the game is to avoid falling off the platform by dodging the opponents' punches and kicks, the falling [[Cheep Cheep]]s and moving from crumbling pieces of lands, as those fall shortly after they start shaking. The last standing player wins.  
Players try to avoid falling off the platform as well as the Cheep Cheeps, which break segments of the platform, shortening it over time. Players can [[jump]] on, [[punch]], or [[kick]] their opponents, either pushing them off or slowing them. The [[Big Cheep Cheep|large red type]] may arrive to destroy several blocks on contact. The last player left wins, though if every player falls off, it is a draw.


The player can punch his or her opponents to push them outside of the star-shaped platform and jump on the opponents to make them move slower, or jump on them while they are jumping over a hole to make them fall. But more than the opponents, the main thing the player has to watch out for are the falling Cheep Cheeps, from which the "Fish" in this mini-game's name comes from. These Cheep Cheeps randomly fall from the sky anywhere on the ground, usually on the edges. When colliding against the ground, the Cheep Cheep destroy it, making the land smaller and smaller as time passes. There are two kind of Cheep Cheeps; blue ones, which are small and take out just but a single "block" of land, and red ones, which destroy several blocks of lands at once with their gargantuan size. If a Cheep Cheep gets to hit the player, he or she will be temporarily dizzied and unable to move.
The ending shows the winning player doing their animation as two rainbows appear.


The third factor that can eliminate a player from this mini-game is the crumbling ground. If the ground begins shaking below the player, he or she must move out of there as quick as possible, as this shaking indicates the ground will fall down.

This mini-game takes place in an unspecified area of the sky. The players fight on a star-shaped piece of land, which is divided into several connected blocks. However, these "blocks" are not visible on the grass. A [[Klepto]] can be seen flying in circles below the area the players are on, but really serves no purpose. Similarly, there's a [[Shy Guy]] riding a pink balloon-like machine. A lot lower, the player can see another star-shaped floating island similar to the one he or she is fighting on, except this one has more grass and appears to be on the gound.
